|Value 0 = "You much of a scientist? It's not something you can tell just by looking at someone." […] "I hear that if you do enough work at a laboratory […] you'll get invited to lunch with the Dean of Supernumerary Fellows. You could learn a lot, there." 
|Value 3 = "You can learn a lot from that Dean. If he thinks you're sufficiently attentive to your work in the laboratory, he might even invite you to tea. I'd accept that offer. That is, if I wanted to learn whether he had any ulterior motive […]
|Value 6 = "I'm sure if I'd tried a different career, I could have been a scientist. There are other ways of learning, but close study can be invaluable." He grins. "You've been looking into Mr Spices' stash. Have you tested it on anything?"
|Value 12 = "Have you been helping with the railway? You might find something worth looking into the factory at Station VIII." He considers you for a moment. "You'll need to go there out of hours, if you know what I mean?"
|Value 15 = "The Masters seem rather interested in Station VIII, don't you think? I wonder why." The Veteran stares into his pint. "How is Spices doing, by the way?"
|Value 18 = He shrugs. "Well, you took a sample of its tears? Take them to your laboratory!"
|Value 21 = "Huh," the Veteran says, staring into his pint. "That's quite something. Have you gone back to Mr Spices with your results?"
|Value 24 = The Veteran looks increasingly alarmed at what you're describing. "I, er," he stammers. "Right, well, what you ought to..." he starts, but then he can only nod and trail off.
|Value 27 = The Veteran has no advice for you – he's much too distracted by the infant idly chewing on your head.
